War Thunder Tricks #4 | How To Merge 

Haha!

Hahaha it was for the people!

@@AdamTheEnginerd yaks come in so clutch sometimes I dont get it

Hahaha thanks!

Thanks! Camera angles are a part of the game, gotta give bad camera angles to the enemy ;).

@@AdamTheEnginerd I hate fully vertical angles, where your camera is just spinning.

Where you learn to give hope!

Haha just practice!

Always here to rekindle the interest for WT ;). Good luck on your exams!

Thanks!

My pleasure! As a wise person once said: "the gems are in the humble channels".

My pleasure m8!

At low alt the D30 will have the dogfight advantage, at higher altitude it might be pretty even (5km or so). Ideally you don't get caught in a dogfight vs more maneuverable enemies, use your better climb to start the fight with the energy advantage.

I suppose, but with experience and accurate judging of energy states, you know when they can't get a shot on you.

@@AdamTheEnginerd plus its tense and very fun

@@bryanfortino Indeed. Shots at low speed are so satisfying. I actually got excited in 0:40.

Sure!

Thanks! I'm not French, I'm Canadian but I speak French. I don't really play mobile games though.

@@AdamTheEnginerd That was fast ! Okay no problem. _And the cycle continues_

Lowering maybe.

D30 turns better than average for the BR. I highly recommend turning with things you outturn if it's 1vs1.

@@AdamTheEnginerd I am pretty sure you can't do it for long because of how sloppy it gets when it is slow but correct me if I am wrong

@@dannyeltz9871 Nah you have the advantage in a dogfight against most Germans, flaps help too.

That's pretty good.

i've seen far more..."stranger" things happen in the game, wouldn't be impressed.

Haha what do you mean?

Loop back a tough later then ;).

Extend away if I don't have enough of an energy advantage to basically stall him out without getting shot.

Yeah.

It's just a worse matchup at low altitude compared to high altitude for some planes.

You've come to the right place! I recommend progressing in all main nations relatively equally, that'll be best to know the pros and cons of each nation.

Get them slow then ;).

My pleasure!

Je regarde la vitesse à laquelle l'indicateur de distance varie, et ça donne la vitesse relative entre toi et ton ennemie, et avec ta vitesse tu peux savoir sa vitesse. Ça prend de l'expérience c'est certain.

@@AdamTheEnginerd Oof. Il faudrait d'abord que j'arrive à décoder ce que tu as dit

C'est pas clair?

@@AdamTheEnginerd Pas tellement

Plus l'indicateur de distance varie rapidement, plus ta vitesse + celle de l'ennemi est grande. Si ta vitesse est grande dans ce cas, ça veut dire que la vitesse de l'ennemi est plus petite. C'est la variation de l'indicateur de vitesse ainsi que ma vitesse qui m'indique la différence de vitesse entre moi et l'ennemi.

Thanks for the praise! I've got a decent amount of dogfight videos. My controls are essentially default, with MEC and pitch added. Apart from having pitch on your keyboard, I don't have any pointers on control setup. With experience you'll get better in dogfights by fighting someone who is better than you at it.

My pleasure!

Euh what do you mean?

@@AdamTheEnginerd Sorry i was being a dickhead, you know in game there that NPC who says "Attention to the map!" my poor attempt at humour.

Oh lmao no worries.

Yes ;).

That'd be statistically surprising.

Adam514 I’m somehow never surprised either. Just seems like the game is always as hard as it can be for me.

Aim!

Lol nice try though.

Hahahaha! Silver lining is more time for War Thunder though!

Nope only for SL. If a plane is faster than another plane at SL though, it's bound to be faster at every altitude.

ahh I don't know, I did some limited testing just with the 109s yesterday, yea the F4 is faster than the G2trop at SL, but go up to 4500m and the G2 is faster. same has to be true for some other planes as well

That's surprising for the F4 vs G2 trop, interesting.

Lmao.

You probably weren't going fast enough initially, or the enemy turns significantly better than you.

@@AdamTheEnginerd Or that I bled too much speed climbing instead of making tight turns. Thanks for your advice

Depends which.

@@AdamTheEnginerd Any Yak fighter comrade... any fighter))))

"[" "]" to retract and open, which is the default buttons. For landing flaps I just press the "open" button 3 times. I also have them bound to extra buttons on my mouse, but I need to practice using them instead of the keyboard.

Lmao.

Haha thanks man! I think I remember you!

I just said in chat "Holy shit it's @@AdamTheEnginerd" then helped Dogeness with one fighter at altitude. I stayed high over the large island on Saipan trying to cover our group diving on a few ground pounders. Unfortunately the rest of the enemy team was already low and being mopped up by you and dogeness over the smaller island and the match was over too quickly for me to be more involved. Still great to see you in game and not die like a moron for you to see. :)

You are great and I learn a ton from your videos.

Thanks for the praise! Until we meet again ;).

Haha Spitfire?

Thanks!

He was dealt with, either a reversal or a bait to a teammate.

Over 100km/h faster* at 1:12. It comes with practice. You can see the speed at which the distance is ticking, which gives you the relative speed between your aircraft and his, and you have your speed and relative speed-your speed = his speed. He also came out of a climb, that's a good indication that he won't be going excessively fast, while I came out of a dive.

Thanks man!

My pleasure!

Ehh head-ons are probably my worst attribute, I would need to get a lot better before I can make a worthy video explaining it.

lol same here but I'm sure you still have better head-on than me.I regularly lose head-on against enemy fighters with less firepower.I fly P-47 or F-82 because A6Ms A7Ms and spitfires and the like won't risk a head-on against me but I believe if they ever dare try it they'll be surprised when they defeat me.

I'd really appreciate it if you are willing to do a video about the less maneuverable fighter shooting down the more maneuverable opponent before it becomes a prolonged dogfight which usually doesn't end well

explaining how to predict their flight path and take advantage of it and how to lure enemy to do decisions that are not in their favor for example taking P-51D to a loop which would bleeds much of its energy

That I can do! Most of my "Dogfight" clips are me in the less maneuverable plane defeating the enemy, you may want to check some of those out.

Merci! Bonne chance!

Default for the most part, with MEC added.

Haha thanks!

It's when 2 planes are heading towards each other and eventually pass each other and then start to maneuver. You're new to the game?

@@AdamTheEnginerd Hey man - wow! Thanks for the fast reply : ) yeah i basically started playing like 3 days ago and im trying to figure out how everything works. For a noob like me the game mechanics and especially the strategies and decision making are pretty overwhelming so i'm on YT for some video guides / tips & tricks and help in general to get a basic understanding of what and when i have to do something : D

I replay fast ;). Cool, you're lucky to have found this channel this quickly! Yeah RU-vid helps a lot, it probably makes you improve twice as fast. You can pick up stuff you see in game a lot faster if you see it explained on RU-vid. Feel free to join the Discord ;).

@@AdamTheEnginerd sure man would gladly join the discord - you got a link? : )

Oh it's in the description of my latest videos.

Of course! I wouldn't have it any other way! I hope you will!

see ya in the skies xD

And on RU-vid ;).

I think a great system would be that the player who got the kill can award an assist to whoever helped him the most to get it (bait, damage, etc). Another system would be to award an MVP (more RP and SL whatever you want) by vote to a team member, and the one who gets the most votes wins. Yet another system which will certainly never see the light of day in Gaijin's WT is to award a LVP (Least Valuable Player) by vote, which reduces SL and RP gains by 50%.

Well yeah.

Old gun sounds.

@@AdamTheEnginerd Whyd they change them, they sound so much better.

@@AdamTheEnginerd I don't remember them like that on PC back in 2015 but I think that's just my memory 🤣

Haha :).

Hahaha all that's left is to take it away!

Of course.

@@AdamTheEnginerd Do you have to compensate for any lag like shooting even further ahead. Oh and wow man, just wow. Insane flying

@@seanklohn2941 I play on US-EU, EU gives me 110 ping so I need ro be more careful with dodges, but it doesn't change my aim. Thanks!

My pleasure!

My pleasure m8!

My pleasure!

:)

Haha thanks?

P400 would win.

G91 looks fun, haven't unlocked it yet.

Yea, it was my first jet. ...and I make low quality reviews on it, on my low quality YT channel ;)

Dinomra Haha nice!

I do this all the time and I don't get shot. It's tuned to what the average pilot can do against me yes, if you consider their average aim to be bad, then yes it relies on "bad aim".

If you're going at a decently high speed, slightly rolling your plane around, and flying at an oblique angle, its extremely difficult for an enemy to shoot you down.

Not sure what you mean. In most of those cases, the enemy outturns you.

@@AdamTheEnginerd I meant how would I merge in a 109 vs spit or p51 or in a ta152 vs spit or p51

Similar to this video, shoot and headon, turn around if you have the turn advantage, go straight if you don't.

@@AdamTheEnginerd can spitfire outturn the Ta152H?

What do you mean?

Adam514 it's a cheat..make em stall with a lot of bullshit manoeuvring with pilot instructor

Cheating implies unique or rare access to a game-changing exploit which is not allowed by the rules. So by definition instructor is not a cheat. RB (and AB) wouldn't be able to exist without the instructor. I have no idea what point you are trying to make.
